Acer Travelmate TimelineX XTM8372TG reviewSource: PC AdvisorThe Acer Travelmate TimelineX TM8372TG-5454G50Mnbb may not have corporate-level management features of Toshiba’s Tecra M11-17W, but in terms of performance it’s not far behind.

The advantage of a small display is, that the subnotebook can be small dimensioned and can be carried easily. Further the small display needs few energy, which improves the battery runtime and in consequence the mobility. The disadvantage is that the reading of texts is a bit exhausting for the eyes, especially with high resolutions.» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.

2.6 kg: This notebook is lighter than the average of all notebooks. It is too heavy for sub-notebooks. 14 inch displays are normal for this class of weight.
